The Action Plan focuses on four core areas, implementing street design changes, tackling the issue of distraction and impaired driving.
Highlights of the major plan include:
The plan also outlines a commitment to work toward preventing serious crashes and eliminating traffic-related fatalities which are reportedly a leading cause of death in Boston.
“Our Vision Zero Action Plan outlines a thoughtful strategy to improve roadway safety and put the City of Boston on track towards eliminating all traffic-related fatalities on our streets,” said Mayor Martin J. Walsh in a press release. “Ensuring the safety of all of our residents and visitors is a top priority and it is important that we continue to make strides in creating better and safer streets across our city.”
Police Commissioner William Evans supported the Mayor’s plan noting “Too often we see tragic results of crashes which could have been avoided. We are committed to making city streets as safe as possible for all pedestrians, motorist and cyclist,” said Evans in a press release.
The plan clearly identifies where collisions are most likely to occur and will use the information to put the plan in place.
Boston City Councilor Sal LaMattina whose district includes the North End said ” The Action Plan will help the city determined how to make streets safer for both drivers and pedestrians.”
